12 Ekuhambeni kwethuba uYehoyakin ukumkani wakwaYuda waphuma waya kukumkani waseBhabhiloni,+ yena nonina+ nabakhonzi bakhe neenkosana zakhe namagosa akhe enkundla; kwaye ukumkani waseBhabhiloni wamthabatha ngonyaka wesibhozo+ wokuba ngukumkani kwakhe.

10 Ekuthwaseni+ konyaka uKumkani uNebhukadenetsare wathumela+ ukuba kuziswe eBhabhiloni+ iimpahla ezinqwenelekayo zendlu kaYehova.+ Ngapha koko, wenza uZedekiya+ uyisekazi ukumkani wakwaYuda naseYerusalem.+

24 UYehova wandibonisa, khangela! iingobozi ezimbini zamakhiwane zibekwe phambi kwetempile kaYehova, emva kokuba uNebhukaderetsare ukumkani waseBhabhiloni wayemthabathele ekuthinjweni uYekoniya+ unyana kaYehoyakim,+ ukumkani wakwaYuda, neenkosana zakwaYuda neengcibi+ nabakhi beendonga zokukhusela, ebasusa eYerusalem ukuze abase eBhabhiloni.+
